Takeaways From Trump’s Military Parade in Washington

Trump's military parade was only responsible for one death. A woman was run over by a truck hauling a tank after the parade. Vegas oddsmakers had the over/under at twelve people killed and 45 maimed, so this is very good news.

Truck with Army tank kills DC pedestrian after Army's 250th birthday parade

A truck carrying one of the Army M1 Abrams tanks that participated in President Donald Trump's parade in honor of the service's 250th birthday struck and killed a woman in Washington.

The accident occurred on the evening of June 16 – two days after the parade – on New York Avenue while a contract truck driver was hauling the tank from the West Potomac Park staging area to a railyard in Jessup, Maryland, according to an internal Army document obtained by USA TODAY. The truck was part of a larger convoy of vehicles.

Officers with Washington's Metropolitan Police Department responding to a call in the city's Northeast area just after 9:30 p.m. found "an adult female, unconscious and not breathing, suffering from life-threatening injuries," according to police spokesman Freddie Talbert.

I hope your last sentence is not true. In the instant case, we have a bunch of traitors in the administration who are putting the names of traitors back because the military has become familiar with them. I would like to think that there are enough enlightened future Republican presidential candidates out there who would not stoop to this low level.

They were always going to be changed back. I'm sure even if Haley got elected, she would have done something similar. See @uftaipan explanation of how this was actually the compromise plan developed by The Army, not Trump's plan.
